Incremental gains required

205

Before the weekend I argued against the early return of Cameron Carter-Vickers against Motherwell on Sunday.  Cameron’s injured hamstring has hampered the player throughout the season and the best remediation for a hamstring is rest. Returning to action before it is absolutely necessary is a risk.

My thoughts on when “absolutely necessary” is has moved since.  One central defender will not change the way the team plays, he will not stop a cross coming into the box or be at the back post to stop a header, but Celtic are in desperate need of incremental gains.  As well as performing traditional defensive duties very well, he is comfortable in possession and can help transition the ball forward.

He would also be a confidence boost to players and fans alike.  Let’s hope we see him on Sunday.

    Two weeks it’s took them to throw the Russians out of all competition.

     

     

    Doesn’t suit the narrative to throw the genociders out.

     

     

    What they are doing playing in European competition is yet another anomaly. The entity should be shunned, globally. And clubs should refuse to play them.

  2. Good news at last, Jose is on the way????????????

     

     

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

     

     

    Jose Mourinho has leapt back into management, with the former Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Tottenham boss agreeing to take charge of Roma next season. (May 2021)

     

     

    This means that over the course of his deal, a potential €21m is open to him, making him the highest paid coach in Roma’s history.

     

     

    However, Mourinho’s salary will also be topped up by Spurs, who will ensure that he earns the same salary he did at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium until 2023, when his deal with the club was due to expire.

     

     

    Mourinho was paid €11.5m as a basic wage with Spurs. This means that the Premier League side will be paying him around twice what Roma are giving him.

     

     

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

     

     

    I hope our new Board will back him.

    It is an unreal experience. You can feel it in the air that something very special happened there. You will enjoy it, a must-do before they refurbish the place.

  4. jose at celtic?

     

     

    Yer having a laff

     

     

    Who would win a fight between

     

     

    The special one and the hills have eyes

  5. @Clunks…Jose at Celts…….

     

    If that cheatin bassa ever set foot on our hallowed ground ……

     

    I would relinquish my ties with our great club……..

     

    And jump on the first bus to Mortons away game…god help me…

     

     

     

     

     

    Rumours….cfc……

  6. Celtic should make Jose Mourinho their next boss when Brendan Rodgers leaves the hot seat.

     

     

    That is the view of talkSPORT pundit Shebahn Aherne as she tipped The Special One to “spice up” the Scottish Premiership with pressure mounting on Irishman Rodgers after the Hoops slip. . . . ..

     

     

    No, me neither.

  7. It’s open season and we’re taking a pounding. Players being slaughtered, even by former Celts. We absolutely need to stay with the team. Leave the wailing till it’s over. Only one message to Brendan, don’t play two wingers. We’ve done it all season and their lack of creativity is a big factor in our poor form. Must win the next three games this coming week. Get some pressure on the huns, who will be back in Europe shortly. Clemente has never really had any pressure, albeit he came close in early games but saved by officialdom e.g. Should have dropped points v Hearts.

    I think we know the reason for it.

     

     

    I think it makes sense. Given the demographics of Belgiums population and potential issues.

     

     

    I would make more sense to many though to ban the Israeli team.

  9. Shebahn is a bona fide Celtic Ghirl, from Glasgow not afraid to broadcast it on TalkSport either

     

    Said it was her Dad who came up with Jose for Celtic idea.

     

    Her twin sister Ruesha is a professional footballer, plays for Ireland, though did play for Scotland at younger lever.

     

    Fine Ghirls both

    It’s the double standards that gets me. . . . . .every . . . . . . time!

  11. Is CQN just an echo chamber of fannies??

     

     

    Every week I jump on and read back

     

     

    It’s the same fuds talking about the same shite

     

     

    years upon years of the same arguments

     

     

    with the same peoples scoring points off each other

  12. 418

     

     

     

    Cheap thoughts? How dare you! My thoughts are anything but cheap. You should be grateful I send some your way.

     

     

    You mention working class v upper.

     

     

    I’ll meet you outside 151 Gallowgate where I was born (the building with Billy Connoly mural on gable end) and educate you how to progress from working class to retirement now lasting 23 years all paid for as a result of working class cunning.

     

     

    Oh I forget you don’t meet folk you come on here and slag off.

     

     

    Good news is the price of tin foil has steadied.

     

     

    Nae mair burnt Sunday roasts.

     

     

    I’ll do a deal with you. You stop naming me in your addled comments and I’ll stop being generous.

    res12 is a decade plus old

     

     

    most of out fans dont know about itand cant tell the difference between that and the 5 way agreement

     

     

    will you still be here spouting the same outdated pish in 2034??

     

     

    come on, put a tampon in it

  14. SFTB

     

     

    Is reality gonna sort out the important issues.

     

     

     

    Is it sannies or gutties or 👟 trainers?😀

     

    ======

     

    Each time it’s own decade or two driven by the mounting affluence of us working class.

     

     

    I reckon 300 pair of sannies costing say £1 a pair in the 50s could be bought for the price of £50 trainers now.

     

     

    I won’t be gutted if I’ve got the exchange rate wrong.

     

     

    Perhaps TBB can offer a correction. :)

  15. and arguing with dicks like 418 is beneath you

     

     

    and a testament to a decade old argument that never got past 2nd base

  16. Emeraldbee

     

     

    I know

     

     

    I would but its so much fun getting him more angry.

     

     

    Might bring about a Wurzel Gummidge moment.

  17. Tontine Tim

     

     

    I well remember that Kille game.

     

     

    A real turnaround.

     

     

    James Forrest the blogger and I had a fall out over it but made up over the years.

     

     

    No kissing though and tongues were definitely verboten

    I know but when I look beneath I see my feet of clay.

     

     

    Keeps me grounded.

  19. your clay has fired years ago

     

     

    your grounded has kept you static

     

     

    mired in the mud

     

     

    time to build a new sculpture

  20. its arguing about this bollox years after they died

     

     

    that helps keep them alive

     

     

    you are dr frankenstein

     

     

    keeping them alive and relevant with a res12 shot in the arm

  21. auldheid

     

     

     

     

     

     

    res12 is a decade plus old

     

     

     

     

     

     

    most of out fans dont know about itand cant tell the difference between that and the 5 way agreement

    come on, put a tampon in it

     

    ====

     

    Listen carefully. This not about Res12 which was about SFA reform.

     

     

    That ended when Celtic took over responsibility for it at 2021 AGM then reimbursed legal costs in recognition that what Res12 uncovered was useful in developing FSR.

     

     

    So it’s done.

     

     

    What I’m on about is shareholders were lied to by the very guy most if not all everyone would like to leave the building and if that behaviour can be tested against Company Law then its worth exploring.

     

     

    An tearman argues DD decided to send Res12 into the long grass.

     

     

    I think it was PL as result of being involved in the decision to adjourn the Resolution that took place over two days.

     

    However let’s say An Tearman is right.

     

     

    That is DD deliberately set out to thwart a perfectly justified resolution from small shareholders with locus ie a right under Company Law to make a case.

     

     

    Did DD comply with Company Law guidance on treatment of small shareholders and did that decision result in his CEO having to lie to the same shareholders as a result and is that legally acceptable?

     

     

    Now I have cleared that up please refrain from misrepresenting what I am suggesting, which is a way to give supporters a stronger say in the running of Celtic.

     

     

    Your misrepresentation is understandable because you know very little of what took place during Res12.

     

     

    What I’m doing is filling that knowledge gap to illustrate that The Board did not necessarily act in the interests of all of The Company who have many small shareholders who wanted what turned out to be fraud as a result of Res12 endeavours, to be addressed.

     

     

    I have no problem having my idea for change being challenged but I do object to unnformed comment trying to stop me.

     

     

    It’s not the first time it has happened and if anyone wants to see the evidence e mail auldheid046@gmail.com with your CQN moniker and I’ll provide instances.

  22. no one wants to see evidence

     

     

    Most of the celtic support do not understand your language or your prose

     

     

    Fecking simplify it if you want the masses to get behind it

     

     

    We all understand the board has fucked us

     

     

    Can you explain that

     

     

    In 4 or 5 paragraphs of non legal and simple language

     

     

    Then breathe and explain it in 4 sentences

     

     

    If you cannot do that

     

     

    Your argument is bust

  23. Emerald Bee

     

     

    No need for Clunk’s to apologise.

     

     

    He provided an opportunity to make it clear what I am proposing, which is in fact building a new structure using the old structure as a foundation.

     

     

    I hope he will drop his misunderstandin g in the future.

     

     

    His point that I’m keeping the deid club alive is to the guy who was party to the Res12 lawyer letter to UEFA that got their Head of Club Licensing Traverso to state RFC Ltd (the club) and RIFC (the Company) were both NEW.

     

     

    It is the only official footballing authority statement issued to that effect and it annoys the feck out of the same club claimers who had semantical difficulties trying to make the word NEW mean the same.

     

     

    It’s a hoot and it’s on line.

  24. my point is unless you manage to make this understandable to kids who now get their knowlefge in 10 second information bites

     

     

    “His point that I’m keeping the deid club alive is to the guy who was party to the Res12 lawyer letter to UEFA that got their Head of Club Licensing Traverso to state RFC Ltd (the club) and RIFC (the Company) were both NEW.”

     

     

    Then you will always be pissing into the wind

  25. Clunk’s

     

     

    I suppose if folk don’t read the evidence or don’t understand it then no point providing it.

     

     

    The evidence is not my words so not me to blame if it cannot be understood.

     

     

    However.

     

     

    Company Law safeguards small shareholders.

     

     

    There is a reasonable case it was breached by The Celtic Board, PL in person. DD behind the scenes.

     

     

    That needs to be tested by presenting the evidence to an expert in Company Law.

     

     

    That will cost money but the very act of a challenges of a legal challenge will produce 2 outcomes.

     

     

    1. DD/PL did comply in which case there is little point in having an AGM.

     

    2 DD/PL didn’t comply in which case resignations are in order.

     

     

    Hope that is helpful.

  26. Clunk’s

     

     

    You mean get disinformation in 10 second bites.

     

     

    I’m afraid correct information takes a lot more than 10 seconds to read absorb.

     

     

    I do the analysis and let bloggers do the translation.

     

     

    I could provide you a link to a thesis exploring why the attention span is so short but it would take a lot more than 10 seconds to read and much much longer to do the even harder work thinking about it.

  27. nope

     

     

    Try again

     

     

    But take all the legalese out it

     

     

    Jeest tell it in its basics

     

     

    “Company Law safeguards small shareholders.

     

     

    There is a reasonable case it was breached by The Celtic Board, PL in person. DD behind the scenes.”

     

     

    how dafuq???

     

     

    “1. DD/PL did comply in which case there is little point in having an AGM.

     

     

    2 DD/PL didn’t comply in which case resignations are in order.”

     

     

    And again

     

     

    Make it understandable

     

     

    Or the vast majority of fuckers will choose not to try to understand

     

     

    ================

     

     

    That cant be hard to understand???

     

     

    Shurely???

     

     

    Make it simple and understandable or forever be the teacher trying to explain quadratic equations to the fuckers that dont understand long division

     

     

    simplify it

     

     

    And then do it again

     

     

    and keep going

     

     

    Then maybe you got it??@?

  28. if you cant make it understandable to the masses, how do you expect the 60,000 to support you??

     

     

    Thats you cross to carry

     

     

    not the bloggers

     

     

    its yours!!

  29. “I could provide you a link to a thesis exploring why the attention span is so short but it would take a lot more than 10 seconds to read and much much longer to do the even harder work thinking about it.”

     

     

    And again your intelligence makes you come across as an unapproachable muppet

     

     

    Which is why res12 floundered on the intelligence of you

     

     

    You came up against the intelligence of the celtic board

     

     

    And they beat you

     

     

    Instead of using the celtic support to help you push thru your resolution

     

     

    You chose to make it unintelligible to them

     

     

    And then looked down upon them

     

     

    You must see that

     

     

    Then again

     

     

    “I could provide you a link to a thesis exploring why the attention span is so short but it would take a lot more than 10 seconds to read and much much longer to do the even harder work thinking about it.”
